Various intersecting theories and methods underlie biblical scholarship in Africa, which constitutes a dynamic, wide and diverse body of work. With the realisation that theory and method are more than framing or organising measures but are reflective and constitutive of scholars and their work, African biblical scholarship (ABS) can be plotted through notions of contextuality and postcoloniality. The richness of ABS is tangible in various, intersecting approaches such as liberation hermeneutics, in/acculturation foci, gender studies, theological concerns and others.
